Chapter 15

Several weeks had gone by and Brooklyn was growing stronger but was still having to stay at the hospital. Carrie and Brad were constantly at the hospital visiting Brooklyn and the nurses were not complaining because Brad was cute. Carrie has to laugh at the nurses falling all over themselves at Brad when he walked by or said hey to them. He was really nice and signed autographs and took pictures with them.

"You have tons of fans here" Carrie giggled one afternoon as they past the nurse's station as the nurses smiled and waved.
Brad looked and smiled, blushed, and nodded and then took Carrie's hand in his as they continued down the hallway to the NICU unit.
"You're embarrassed Mr Richards" Carrie smirked.
"Yeah I am" Brad said turning more red with embarrassment.

They got to the NICU and headed in to visit with Brooklyn. Carrie sat in a rocking chair and the nurse brought Brooklyn over because Brooklyn was able to be out of her incubator for just a short time.

Carrie was holding Brooklyn and it was so amazing and made her happy because her baby was in her arms.

"She is getting bigger" Carrie exclaimed with a huge smile and looked at Brad. Brad smiled back, "Yes she is and hopefully soon we will have her home in the nursery".
"Oh Brad we gotta finish the nursery" Carrie said slightly freaking out.
"It will be done relax sweetheart. I promise" Brad said leaning over to give Carrie a quick kiss.


**********

Carrie and Brad were home that evening chilling watching a movie. Carrie was leaning on Brad's chest and snuggling. It was fun to be close like this and just being alone.

"Hey Brad, I am really happy now"
"Oh yeah"
"Yes because I know Brooklyn is going to be home soon and I will finally get to be a mom. Everything is perfect now".
"Yeah things are definitely great now" Brad said and kissed the top of Carrie's head.

Carrie moved and leaned into Brad and kissed him deeply on the lips. Brad smirked and kissed her passionately back. It turned into a fun make out session for Brad and Carrie on their sofa. The movie was ignored and that was fine.

Chapter 14

Carrie was finally released from the hospital but had to leave her daughter in the NICU. Carrie was getting pushed by the nursery and she said, "Stop and I wanna see my little girl before I go".

The nurse stopped and helped Carrie out of the wheelchair. Brad took Carrie's hand and walked with her over to the window to look at their daughter.

Carrie looked at Brooklyn in her special bassinet and hook up to some machines and it made her sad.

"She is so little" Carrie said biting her lip as she looked at Brad.
"Yes she is but remember she is a Richards" Brad said and took Carrie's face in his hands and leaned down and kissed her deeply.

Brad pulled back and looked at Carrie and they smiled at each other and then he helped her back into her wheelchair. The nurse pushed her down to the car and then Brad helped Carrie into the car. They headed home and Carrie looked out her window thinking about her baby.

When they got home Carrie walked into the condo and went over to the sofa and sat down. She put her hands on her abdomen and let the tears fall. Brad sat down next to her and pulled her into a hug and held her close. Brad rubbed her back and just whispered how much he loved her and everything would be fine.

******************

That night Carrie and Brad were laying in bed snuggled together. Carrie was laying on Brad's chest and thinking about their daughter.

"Brad, you know how scared I am about losing Brooklyn right?"
"Yes baby, I know its hard for you after losing two babies before but Brooklyn is stronger and I feel in my heart she will be home very soon" Brad explained.
"I can't lose another baby especially our baby" Carrie said smiling up at Brad.
Brad leaned down and kissed Carrie deeply and then they feel asleep in each others arms.

The next morning Carrie woke up and untangled herself from Brad's arms. She walked quietly into the bathroom.

Brad moved to pulled Carrie close and realized she was not in bed next to him.

"Sweetheart, where are you?"

Carrie came out of the bathroom and Brad patted the spot next to him on the bed. Carrie giggled and climbed back into bed and snuggled against Brad. They started kissing and making out and then cuddled together.

Carrie pulled back and said, "We need to go and see Brooklyn this morning". Brad kissed Carrie one more time and then they got ready to go to the hospital.

*************************

At the hospital Carrie and Brad spent time talking to Brooklyn. The doctor had said talking to their baby was good for her and would help her getting better quicker. That made Brad and Carrie hope that Brooklyn would be home soon.

Chapter 13

Carrie was in her hospital room and the nurses were prepping her for labor. Brad was a nervous wreak and not sure what to do so he sat off to the side and waited until he could hold Carrie's hand. Finally Carrie reached out for Brad's hand and he walked over and held her hand.

"Oh god Brad this is freaking out" Carrie said flipping out.
"It is going to be fine. Just relax" Brad said gently pushing her hair off her face and then giving her a quick kiss on the forehead.
"I...can....not...relax Brad! I have a baby inside of me and it wants OUT! UGH Oh God" Carrie stuttered.

Brad gave Carrie some ice chips to suck and he caressed her hand to try and relax her.

Carrie was slowly starting to calm down because Brad seemed to have that affect on her and that he was caressing her hand was wonderful. He always knew how to calm her down by either holding her hand or giving her a kiss.

The doctor walked in and asked, "How's the patient?"
"I am doing better" Carrie said smiling at Brad, who smiled back at Carrie.
"Good then let's have a baby" the doctor said.

******************

Several hours later Brad and Carrie were the proud parents of a beautiful baby girl. They named her Brooklyn Grace Richards. Little Brooklyn was rushed off to the Neonatal Unit because she was born early. Carrie and Brad had a few moments with their new daughter and then had to watch as the nurses took her so the doctor could check Brooklyn out.

After Brooklyn was gone, Carrie took a deep breath and look up at Brad with tears in her eyes. Brad looked down at Carrie and kissed her.

"I can not say if everything will be perfect but Brooklyn is a Richards and we are strong" Brad said looking lovingly into his fiancee's eyes.
"I hope so because I need our baby daughter to survive after losing two other babies" Carrie said strongly.
"I know sweetheart and all you and I can do is pray for Brooklyn to be strong and survive".
"Bradley you always make me feel better and I love you so much" Carrie said smiling.
"I love you more Carrie" Brad said kissing Carrie again and held her as they prayed for their new baby girl and her survival.

Chapter 12

The Rangers were battling with the Devils in the playoffs and then in game 6 of that series the Devils knocked out the Rangers. Needless to say Brad and his teammates were heartbroken about the loss. It was hard but they all got through the after game interviews and packed their bags and climbed onto the airplane to head back home to their families.

Brad got in really late and quietly walked into the bedroom and put his bags down and then went over to the bed and looked at Carrie sleeping peacefully. He knew Carrie had been watching the game because he was getting texts from her when he checked his phone between periods but because of her pregnancy she could not travel. Brad knew Carrie wanted to be at the game but the baby and Carrie's health were way more important.

Brad walked into the bathroom and then got ready for bed and then slid into the bed and put his arm around Carrie's waist and got comfortable and then went to sleep quickly.

The next morning Carrie woke up to the feeling of Brad's strong arms holding her. She turned to face Brad but it was not as easy because of her huge baby belly but she managed. She gently touched his sleeping face and smiled. Carrie knew Brad was upset because of the loss against the Devils so she was going to try and make Brad happy whatever way possible. Carrie leaned in and kissed Brad's lips and then waited to see if Brad would wake up which he did.

"Morning gorgeous" Brad said, "I loved getting woken up by you kissing me".
Carrie leaned back in for another amazing kiss which Brad totally loved, "I love you so much and want you to always to be happy" Carrie said with her amazing smile and drove Brad crazy in a good way.
"You always make me happy in any situation" Brad said smiling.
"Brad, I know last night was tough and I really wish I could have been there after the game to give you a hug and kiss" Carrie said as a tear fell down her cheek and she bit her lip.
"Oh baby do not cry and the health of our baby is way more important and I knew you were there" Brad said holding his fiancee close and kissing her temple.
"Oh Brad, how did I get to be so lucky to have you back in my life?" Carrie asked.
"No Carrie, I am the lucky one to have you to want me back in your life" Brad said and kissed her again.

They cuddled and talked more in bed for a lot of the morning.

*********************************

That evening Brad, Carrie, his parents, his sister, Paige, and Carrie's aunt Susan were sitting in Brad and Carrie's condo living area relaxing after a great dinner out earlier.

"Brad you guys played amazing and we have next season to get that cup" Brad's dad Glenn said and Brad's mom Delite nodded in agreement.
"Yeah we do" Brad stated quietly.
"Carrie, how are you feeling these days?" Paige asked.
"Oh gosh I am tired all the time and all the crazy baby things that are happening to my body. I know I am driving poor Brad up the wall with everything" Carrie said looking at Brad.
Brad looked at Carrie and kissed her temple and smiled.

At one point Carrie was in the kitchen getting coffee going for everyone in the kitchen. Carrie was reaching up for something in the cabinet and she felt something in her abdomen.

"Oh wow" Carrie said and shook it off but then she felt it again and this time Brad overheard her and was next to her instantly.
"Baby, what's wrong?" Brad asked concerned holding Carrie.
"I....I....I think the baby is coming...I think. Take me to the hospital please" Carrie pleaded.
Brad picked Carrie up in his arms and everyone else helped out by getting Carrie's bag and getting the house situated after they are left and headed to the hospital.

In the car, Carrie looked over at Brad and said, "Brad, the baby is coming early and I am really scared!"
Brad grabbed Carrie's hand and squeezed it and said, "Everything will be fine, I promise".
"I love you Brad"
"I love you more Carrie"

Chapter 11

****WARNING ADULT CONTENT****


The Rangers were seriously getting more into the playoffs and so Brad was really busy and doing a lot of traveling. That meant that Carrie was alone but she was fine with it because it gave her time to rest that both she and the baby needed to stay healthy. Carrie did watch Brad play on tv when he was on the road but when he was in town, she would go to Madison Square Garden and seat in a box with her Aunt Susan to cheer on Brad.

One evening Brad was actually at home for a couple of days so he was enjoying his time home with Carrie. They were actually chilling out in the den watching a movie because Brad needed to forget hockey for a little while. Carrie was snuggled against Brad's chest and was really enjoying being in Brad's arms and the feeling of Brad's hand caressing her back. She was getting sleepy and looked up at Brad and smiled.

"Hey Brad, if you keep caressing my back I am going to be asleep in five minutes" Carrie said drowsily.
Brad continued and before he knew it Carrie was asleep against his chest. He smiled and continued to watch his movie.
When it was over Brad picked up Carrie and took her to bed. Brad cuddled Carrie close and they fell asleep together.

The next morning Carrie woke up feeling the baby playing soccer with her bladder so she gently untangled herself from Brad's arms to go into the bathroom. She was washing her hands when she heard Brad call out to her.

"Baby get back into bed with me" Brad called out.
Carrie smirked and quickly finished in the bathroom and headed back to Brad.
Brad smirked when Carrie climbed back into bed and cuddled with Brad.

Carrie and Brad were laying facing each other and Brad leaned in and kissed Carrie deeply. Brad then started to seduce Carrie by letting his hands slide over Carrie's body. He gently undressed Carrie and then shed his own pajamas. Carrie slid her hands along Brad's back.

"Oh god Brad! Touch me everywhere. Oh God!" Carrie cried out.

Brad continued to kiss Carrie on her neck and then slowly moved to her collarbone. Carrie continued to squirm at Brad's touch because she was so sensitive by being pregnant. Brad then moved down to her breasts and suckled one and then the other.

"Bradley Glenn Richards oh yes yes yes"

Brad smirked at hearing his full name coming out of Carrie's mouth in the throws of passion. He continued to kiss her down her abdomen and then to her most sensitive spot. And then Carrie lost it to Brad's kisses and had a powerful orgasm then Brad moved back up Carrie's body. Carrie was catching her breath from what Brad has just done and then he leaned down and kissed her again.

Before Carrie knew it Brad was gently caressing her sensitive spot again and she was feeling wet again and then Brad gently slid into Carrie's wetness. Brad moved slowly to let Carrie get used to him and then started on a faster pace which they both enjoyed until Brad spilled his seed into Carrie's womb and Carrie orgasmed.

They finally calmed down for their special morning love making session and Brad moved off of Carrie and held her close.

"Brad that was amazing and a nice way to start my day" Carrie said kissing Brad.
"I love you so much Carrie and would do anything for you" Brad said kissing Carrie again and again.
"I love you too Brad" Carrie said.

Chapter 10

Brad was busy with the playoffs coming up and so Carrie was spending a lot of time sitting at the condo because she was officially on bed rest by the doctor.

"Ugh I am so bored" Carrie said to the walls. She was waiting for the Rangers game to come on the tv. She was so annoyed that she could not go to Madison Square Garden to support her man but at least she could watch the game.

Finally the game started and Carrie was enjoying all the action.

"Come on guys score" Carrie yelled at the tv. The action was getting faster because the Rangers were playing their arch rival the Islanders. During the second period was getting nasty with lots of fights. Carrie watched as Brad actually threw some punches at some Isles player. Brad ended up on the ice with the other guy but from what the commentators said Brad had won that fight which made Carrie smile.

"That's my man" Carrie giggled again to herself. She could not wait until the game was over so that Brad would be at home with her.

As luck would have it the game ended in regulation and the Rangers had won.

Carrie was glad because that meant Brad would be in a great mood and they could celebrate.

***************

Brad got home really late because all the reporters wanted to talk with him after the game because he had scored the game winning goal. But while he was talking with the reporters all he could think about was Carrie and hoping she was fine. Ever since her stay at the hospital he was extremely protective of Carrie and wanted nothing to happen to her or their baby.

Finally he was home and he quietly walked into the bedroom and saw Carrie sleeping peacefully. Brad walked over to the bed and just looked at Carrie and smiled.
She looked like an angel with her hair spread across the pillow.

Brad undressed and climbed into bed. He pulled Carrie to his body and held her close.

Carrie felt Brad pulled her to him and she turned to look at him.

"Hey baby. Go back to sleep sweetheart you need rest for your sake and the baby's" Brad said gently and caressed Carrie's cheek and then kissed her tenderly.
Carrie yawned and then snuggled into Brad's chest.

"Hey Brad"
"Yes Carrie"
"I love you Brad"
"I love you more Carrie"

Chapter 9

****WARNING ADULT CONTENT****


Brad woke up early to go and see Carrie before practice and when he got to the hospital. He quietly walked into Carrie's room and saw she was still sleeping so he went and sat down next to her on the bed and took her hand in his and kissed it. Brad just sat and watched her sleep and the only noise was the baby monitor that was keeping track of the baby's heartbeat. Brad looked over at the baby monitor and just listened as it kept track of the babies heart rate. It was kinda soothing and reassuring that the baby was fine because Brad knew that being parents was very important to him and Carrie.

Brad was slightly memorized by the machine and did not noticed when Carrie woke up.

"Hey morning handsome" Carrie said stretching.
Brad jumped slightly at Carrie's voice and then smiled at her, "Morning gorgeous" and then kissed her gently.
"You are here so early?"
"I told you I was coming back before practice and missed having you next to me last night in bed".
Carrie giggled, "I did not miss you".
Brad looked shocked, "What you did not miss me? Now I am heartbroken".
"Because you were in my dreams and held me all night long" Carrie joked, "Now you better give me a great morning kiss!"
Brad smirked and kissed Carrie.

"Anyway how are you feeling?" Brad asked still holding Carrie's hand.
"Better and hopefully soon I can leave because I really want to be in my own bed".
"I want you in our bed too" Brad said winking at Carrie. Carrie just rolled her eyes and knew exactly what Brad was thinking.
"You are being such a guy with all this bedroom talk. Now you need to get to practice so you will win your game tomorrow" Carrie said.
"Yes but I will be back soon. Do you need anything before I go?" Brad asked wanting to be the good fiancee and making sure she was fine.
"I am good Brad and I think they will be bringing me some food soon because I am starving".
"Why did you not say something because I would have gotten you something sweetheart?" Brad said trying to be helpful.
"Its really fine Brad. I promise just relax and get going so you are not late. I am fine" Carrie said touching Brad's cheek to help him chill out.
"But you are pregnant and so you have two people to be feeding so I worry more for both you" Brad said as he let go of Carrie's hand and put his hand on her abdomen and gently caressed it.
Carrie smiled and put her hand over Brad's on her abdomen, "We are fine now go".
Brad leaned over to kiss Carrie and were interrupted by a young woman came in with a tray.

"I am here with your breakfast Ms Andrews" the young woman said and Carrie smiled.

"Thank you" Carrie said and Brad took the tray and set the table over Carrie's bed so she could eat her breakfast.

"See my food is here darling and I will be fine" Carrie smirked at Brad. Brad smiled again and kissed her gently on the lips, "I love you and will be back in a little bit" he said and left.

Carrie took a breath and then ate her breakfast and then turned on the television and then after a little while Carrie went back to sleep.

************************

Brad was enjoying having a good hard practice with his teammates. They were working hard on drills and faceoffs.

Finally practice was done and the guys were all showering and getting dressed for the rest of their day. Brad's teammate, Henrik, noticed that Brad had a little more zip in his step about getting ready to leave the rink so he had to mess with him.

"Hey Brad you got a hot date or ants in your pants because you seem to be in a serious rush to get out of here?" Henrik chirped loudly so the rest of the guys heard.
Sure enough more of the guys noticed and starting making jokes at Brad about him rushing to get dressed.
Brad finished getting dressed and then looked up at his teammates, "Yeah I am getting some from a hottie who screams my name all night long unlike most of you" Brad chirped back as he grabbed his bag and saluted his teammates as he walked out the door.
"He got us all on that one" Henrik said as the rest of the guys just laughed.

******************

Brad went to the flower shop before he went back to the hospital. He wanted to get Carrie some flowers to lighten up the room and the plus was to show her he loved her with some roses.

He got to the hospital and wandered into her room and she was sitting reading a book when Brad walked in with the flowers.

"Hey" Carrie said, "Those are beautiful flowers, Brad".
"I just wanted to get you some flowers because I love you" Brad said placing the flowers on the table near the window and then he came and sat down next to Carrie, "How are you doing?".
"I am good and thank you for my flowers" Carrie said kissing Brad.
"You are welcome sweetie and I would do anything for you" Brad smiled and touched Carrie's cheek and then kissed her again.
"I know Brad and I feel so lucky to have you in my life" Carrie said smiling at Brad.
"I am the lucky one and always will be because you are so precious to me, Carrie".

Carrie smiled and then looked at Brad, "The doctor said I should be able to leave tomorrow morning".
"I will be here to take you home" Brad said with a huge grin on his face which made Carrie smile too.

The rest of the time Brad cuddled with Carrie on her hospital bed and they watched tv and talked.


*************************

The next morning Carrie was talking with the doctor about what she can do to relax so that she and her baby's health would be fine. As they were talking Brad showed up.

"Hey Brad" Carrie said smiling at him and he smiled back.
"Are you ready?" he asked.
"Yes I am. Can you get my bag please?"

Brad grabbed Carrie's bag while the doctor gave Carrie her paperwork.

"Carrie just take it easy because I know you two want to have a healthy baby" the doctor said and both Carrie and Brad nodded.
"Thanks doctor for everything" Carrie said shaking the doctor's hand and then she and Brad headed out of the hospital.

When Carrie and Brad got home she was so relieved and relaxed.

"Oh my god Brad you do not know how happy I am to be here" Carrie said sitting down on the sofa and Brad sat down next to her.
"I am happy you are here too" Brad said and pulling Carrie so she was sitting on his lap.
"Hey what are you trying to do dude?" Carrie laughed but enjoying the closeness to her man.
"Wanting to be intimate with my gorgeous fiancee and showing her how much I love her" Brad said kissing deeply and letting his hands move over her body.
Carrie moved so she could let her hands roam over Brad's body too. She slid her hands under Brad's shirt and she heard him groaned as she continued letting her hands over his abs. Brad pulled back and quickly shed his shirt and helped Carrie take her shirt off too. Brad then looked at Carrie and said, "Lets go back into the bedroom so we can be more comfortable". Carrie got up and helped Brad up off the sofa and she led him back to the bedroom.

Carrie walked over to the bed and Brad stopped her before she sat down. He pulled her close and kissed her.

"Just stay put in here for a moment and I will be right back" Brad said to Carrie. Carrie looked confused but sat down on the bed and watched as Brad walked into the bathroom.

While he was doing whatever he was doing, Carrie grabbed a blanket and put it over her shoulders because she was cold and then gave up on staying put because she was curious so she went to the bathroom and opened the door.

Brad had the water running in the tub going and there were bubbles filling the tub up too. Carrie crept in and surprised Brad who jumped, "Hey you were supposed to stay put" he joked and took the blanket off of her and threw it on the floor.

"Sorry I got bored waiting and curious as to what in the world you were doing in here" Carrie laughed.
"I just thought a relaxing bubble bath for two would be relaxing and fun for us" Brad said suggestively which made Carrie giggle.

"Now I think you need a lot less clothes on for this bubble bath" Brad said and starting helping Carrie take off the rest of her clothes and then helped her step into the bathtub. Carrie sank into the amazingly hot water and it felt like heaven and then Brad quickly undressed himself and joined Carrie.

Carrie moved so that she was straddling Brad's lap. They started kissing again and touching each other. Carrie felt Brad's hand move between her thighs and start caressing her clitoris and she started squirming and feeling wetter and it had nothing to do with the bath they were enjoying. Brad knew Carrie was enjoying what he was doing to her body and he continued with other parts like suckling her breasts and nibbling on her neck.

Carrie let her hands move along his hard manhood and he groaned and pushed her hand away because he would explode early if she kept touching him. He finally lowered her onto his hardness and she went crazy.

"Oh my god! Brad oh god Brad" Carrie kept calling out and Brad smirked and helped her move in and out of her. They made love in the bathtub until Brad lost it and spilled his seed into Carrie's womb. Brad held Carrie close until they both calmed down from their lovemaking high.

Carrie moved off of Brad and sat down next to Brad who held her close and whispered into her ear, "I love you" and Carrie looked at Brad and smiled back at him, "I love you too".

Finally Brad helped Carrie out of the tub and he helped dry her off and then they went to bed and cuddled together and fell asleep in each others arms.
